Background: To compare indication, incidence, complication, fetal and maternal morbidity and mortality in primary caesarean section in multiparous women and nulliparous women. Objective of this study was to compare perinatal outcome of caesarean section in multiparous women to that in nulliparous women.Methods: It is a prospective observational study conducted in a tertiary care centre during April 2017 to April 2018. All patients who delivered vaginally and abdominally were noted during study period. All patients undergoing primary caesarean section were noted. Their indication, incidence and complication throughout stay were noted. Statistics were calculated separately for multiparous women and primiparous women. Statistical analysis was done using chi square test.Results: Total 150 primary caesarean section in primiparous women and 100 primary caesarean section in multiparous women were done.  Fetal distress and meconium stained amniotic fluid forms the most common indication in study. Birth weight of babies was more in multiparous women. Need of blood and blood products was more in multiparous women compared to nulliparous women. Complications like postpartum fever and wound gape was more in multiparous women.Conclusions: In the study population significant difference was seen between the indication and complication between multiparous and nulliparous women.

Background: For asphyxia, the fetus reacts with a series of responses. First there is redistribution of blood flow to vital centres to limit the deleterious effects of oxygen limitation in the brain, heart and adrenal glands. A further compensatory response is that overall fetal oxygen consumption declines to values as low as 50% of the control.Methods: This was a prospective study. Early perinatal outcome of newborns delivered through Caesarean section due to clinical foetal distress in labour was compared with a group of newborns similarly delivered via Caesarean section without a diagnosis of clinical foetal distress. Data collected and analysed using appropriate standard statistical methods i.e. Chi-square (X2) test and ‘Z’ - test.Results: Most common indication for NICU admission in study group was MAS (Meconium Aspiration Syndrome 14%) followed by MAS with perinatal asphyxia (5.33%), MAS with Hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) - stage III (3.33%) paerintal asphyxia (2.66%), severe PNA with HIE - III (0.66%) and TTN (0.66%) meconium gastritis (0.66%) respectively.Conclusions: Clinical foetal distress (study group) was found to be significantly associated with low 1 min and 5 min. Apgar score. There was no significant difference in immediate NICU admission whether D-D (i.e. detection fetal detection to delivery interval) time interval <30 minutes or >30 minutes. But rate of mortality was high when D-D (i.e. detection fetal detection to delivery interval) was >30 minutes.

Failure Of Induction

Background: Caesarean section (C-section) is one of the most widely performed surgical procedure in obstetrics worldwide. The WHO guidelines revised in 1994 states that the proportion of C-section birth should range between 5-15% but both in developed and developing countries C-section rate is on the rise. This study was conducted to analyse the frequency and indications for C-section and associated maternal morbidity and mortality.Methods: This retrospective study was conducted over a period from January 2018 to May 2019 at the department of obstetrics and gynecology, NKP Salve Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre and Lata Mangeshkar Hospital, Hingna, Nagpur, Maharashtra, India. Data of patients who delivered by C-section in our hospital during the defined study period were studied and statistically analysed according to various parameters namely, the frequency of caesarean section, its indications, age, parity and gestational age of the patient.Results: The total number of women delivered over the study period were 2811. Out of which C-sections were done in 1461 women (51.97%). Previous C-section was the leading indication in 35.72% women followed by fetal distress 14.09%, failure of induction 12.93%, arrest of labour 7.93%, PIH 7.18%, oligo/IUGR 6.50%, breech 4.44%, refusal of vaginal birth 4.24%, CPD 1.71%, bad obstetrics history (BOH) 1.43%, malpresentation 1.30%, prematurity 1.23%,  and multifetal gestation in 1.09% women. Two women had classical C-section 0.07. 14.09% women had various complications. There was no maternal mortality.Conclusions: A high rate of caesarean deliveries was observed. Individualization of the indication and careful evaluation, following standardized guidelines can help us to limit C-section. Audit and feedback are the best way to judge clinical practice and to reduce the frequency of caesarean section in any tertiary setup.

Abstract Background To demonstrate that studies on induction of labour should be analyzed by parity as there is a significant difference in the labour outcome among induced nulliparous and multiparous women. Methods Obstetric outcome, specifically caesarean section rates, among induced term nulliparous and multiparous women without a previous caesarean section were analyzed in this cross-sectional study using the Robson 10 group classification for the year 2016. Results In the total number of 8851 women delivered in 2016, the caesarean section rates among nulliparous women in spontaneous and induced labour, Robson groups 1 and 2A, were 7.84% (151/1925) and 32.63% (437/1339) respectively and among multiparous (excluding those women with a previous caesarean section), Robson group 3 and 4A were 1%(24/2389) and 4.37% (44/1005), respectively. Pre labour caesarean rates for nulliparous and multiparous women, Robson groups 2B and 4B (Robson M, Fetal Matern Med Rev, 12; 23–39, 2001) were 3.91% (133/3397) and 2.86% (100/3494), of the respective single cephalic cohort at term. Conclusion The data suggests that studies on induction of labour should be analyzed by parity as there is a significant difference between nulliparous and multiparous women.

Background: Caesarean delivery is defined as the birth of the foetus through an incision in the abdominal wall (i.e. laparotomy) and the uterine wall (hysterotomy). The purpose was to analyze the maternal and foetal outcome in elective versus emergency caesarean sections retrospectively in a tertiary care centre and to analyze the indications of elective versus emergency caesarean sections.Methods: A retrospective observational study of the cases undergoing caesarean sections in KEM hospital, Mumbai, India was carried out during the period of September 2013 to September 2015. Maternal and foetal outcome was studied. The data was collected and analyzed from the maternal medical records. The neonatology records were also examined.Results: Out of the 600 selected patients, 300 patients in each group of elective and emergency caesarean section were studied. The usual indications of emergency caesarean sections were foetal distress, followed by meconium stained amniotic fluid (MSAF) and cephalopelvic disproportion (CPD). The most frequent indicator for elective lower segment caesarean section (LSCS) was patient with previous LSCS not willing for vaginal birth, followed by breech presentation and previous multiple LSCS. There was a significant difference seen in the occurrence of fever, urinary tract infections and wound infections in the two groups. These were more common in the emergency caesarean section group. Significant difference was also seen in the incidence of postpartum haemorrhage in the two groups, which was more in the elective caesarean section group.Conclusions: The maternal morbidity, intra operative and postoperative complications were more in the emergency LSCS group as compared to patients who underwent elective LSCS.

Background: To compare maternal and neonatal outcomes of vacuum versus forceps application in assisted vaginal delivery.Methods: Women in labor with vertex presentation were delivered by indicated/propylactic vacuum or forceps. A total of 500 cases were included in this retrospective study. Maternal and neonatal morbidity were compared in terms of perineal lacerations, episiotomy extension, post-partum hemorrhage, Apgar score, neonatal jaundice, perinatal mortality, NICU admissions etc. Chi square test was used to analyze the data.Results: Maternal morbidity was significant in the forceps group. With regards to neonatal morbidity, in NICU admissions, statistically significant difference was noted.Conclusions: Vacuum and forceps should remain appropriate tools in the modern obstetrics. However, ventouse may be chosen first (if there is no fetal distress) as it is significantly less likely to injure the mother and decrease NICU admissions.

Cholestasis Of Pregnancy

Background: Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (IHCP) is the most common pregnancy related liver disorder. It typically presents with troublesome itching and can lead to complications for both mother and foetus. Present study was carried out to study the incidence of Obstetric Cholestasis and its fetomaternal outcome in a tertiary care hospital.Methods: It was a prospective epidemiological study during a period of one year (May 2020 to April 2021) over 120 pregnant ladies suffering from pruritus and detected as having Obstetric Cholestasis. They were followed up and maternal as well as perinatal outcome recorded. Appropriate statistical analysis done as applicable.Results: The incidence of Obstetric Cholestasis in our hospital was 9.3%. Majority of cases delivered at term (78.3%). 41.6% patients delivered vaginally, 43.3% had emergency caesarean section, and 2.5% patients had instrumental delivery. Maternal morbidities are due to sleep disturbance (60%), coagulation abnormality (13.3%), increase chance of operative delivery (55.8%) and postpartum haemorrhage (12.5%). Neonatal complications include meconium aspiration (46.6%), NICU admission (36.6%), prematurity (5%) and perinatal mortality (3.3%).Conclusions: Cholestasis of pregnancy causes maternal pruritus with impaired liver function tests. Maternal morbidity is increased in terms of increased caesarean section rates and discomfort due to pruritus. A timely intervention at 37-38 weeks will reduce the adverse perinatal outcome.

Objective: To compare the measurement of POP-Q components between multiparous and nulliparous women. Method: This study is a cross-sectional research conducted in several hospitals in Makassar during the period of June to October 2012, with 270 women as the subjects. Subjects were divided into three groups: nulliparous, parity 1-2, and parity 3 (multiparous). We analyzed the mean POP-Q components results between 3 groups using t-test, analysis of prolapse based on POP-Q components measurement, and analysis of correlation between risk factors with prolapse was done using Chi-square test. Result: There is a significant difference in POP-Q components measurement between multiparous and nulliparous women, consecutively for: Aa point -2.14 and -2.97 cm, Ba point -2.11 and -2.99 cm, C point -5.69 and -6.86 cm, gh 3.33 and 2.70 cm, pb 2.60 and 3.27 cm, TVL 8.65 and 9.06 cm, Ap point -2.35 and -2.93 cm, Bp point - 2.61 and -2.96 cm, D point -6.61 and -7.42 cm. In multiparous women, points Aa, Ba, C, D, Ap and Bp became more prolapsed, gh became longer, while pb and TVL became shorter. Conclusion: The proportion of prolapse is higher in multiparous women with significant associations with age, body mass index, education level, and history of heavy physical work, delivering a large baby and use of hormonal contraceptives.

Method: The rate of caesarean section was only slightly higher than recommended by the WHO. Most of caesarean sections were emergency caesarean sections. Data on all live births were collected, including type of delivery, and indication was recorded if cesarean section was done. Total, primary, & repeat cesarean section rates were calculated for each year. The cesarean rate was calculated as the number of cesarean births divided by total live births. The rate for each indication was calculated annually as the number of cesarean births performed for each indication per 1,000 live births.   Result: These two groups constituted nearly 87.7% of total C-Sections. Only 3.4% of the cases belonged to the elderly age group of above 35 years. Maximum no. of caesarean sections was in multiparous females (54.3%).  Out of 550 caesarean deliveries 76.7% were from urban area. Also, result showed that only 68.7% were booked for antenatal care. Conclusion: The rate of cesarean section has increased with time with primary and repeat cesareans both showing an increase. In the primary CS rate, indications like labor arrest disorders & fetal distress show an increase more than the objective indications like malpresentation. In repeat CS, history of 02 or more previous sections & scar tenderness contributed more than the fetal distress. Keywords: Indication, Caesarean

Aims:  This study was done to evaluate the predictive value of low amniotic fluid index (AFI) of < 5 cm for adverse perinatal outcome in term of caesarean section for fetal distress, birth weight, meconium stained liquor and APGAR scores. Methods: This was a prospective study of 200 antenatal women booked at Nepal Medical College Teaching Hospital during the year 2013-2014 with gestational age between 34 and 41 weeks. Patients history and clinical examination were recorded and AFI was measured and the perinatal outcome was compared between two groups i.e AFI <5 cm and >5 cm. Results: The caesarean section (C/S) rate for fetal distress and low birth weight babies (<2.5 kg) was higher in patients with low AFI (p=0.048, 0.001 respectively). There was no significant difference in meconium staining, APGAR score at 5 minutes between the two groups (p=0.881, 0.884 respectively). Conclusions: Caesarean section for fetal distress and low birth weight babies was significantly associated with low amniotic fluid index. There was no significant difference in meconium staining liquor, APGAR score at 5 minutes between the two groups.
